    The Journey is here...Get your ass in gear !

    Good morning all. Good sleep here. Hope you all had the same. Another dinner out with a friend—their treat! That’s 4 in two weeks. Now I’ll be wondering where everyone is for months! Haha

    Sun don’t forget to swish the ACV too for the sore throat. Sometimes taking vitamins with a little food helps to trick the esophagus. If they’re not feeling right in the stomach however B vits are often the culprit. Making sure the quality is good can make a big difference. Just a thought.

    Unless you have blood sugar problems then first switching to a real pop is ok imo but still reducing. Maybe even drinking half at a time—like moderation eh? If blood sugar is an issue then nothing to do but cut back and out.

    Nora, Vicki, Bird, Sun and Grateful (?)--looks like there are a few of us with the smoking habit. I haven’t figured that one out yet either. I do only smoke half a pack a day. And now that I’m not drinking my face off I don’t go above that and sometimes less. One of the reasons I take lots of C and my other vits to counter the effects. I’ll be on the lookout for the name of that tape too Bird.

    I agree Ruby, you’re home is delightful. I seriously hope one day to jump in the car and head south. Maybe this winter…who knows?? Ha maybe a write off for business consultation and delivery.

    Trap you did very well for a day and like they all have said focus on the fact that you did and know you will keep adding those days up as you go along if you really want to.

    Baked bean are treat for me. No typical side effects accept I just don’t do well with any carbs-even complex one. I love to open a can of Heinz in tomatoe and eat right from the can. Glad you enjoyed yours Topsy after all your labours.

    Swannie I will be thinking of you too and sending healing energy your way. It’s always good to see you posting.

    Rog I echo what Grateful said about your optimism no matter what. You are truly inspiring.

    Tony hope your back is improving bit by bit and your back to your wacky self here.

    Panno who do we have in our beds today?? Hope you are staying strong.

    MB I’d request the beach office if I could. Not only would the scenery be nicer I bet there would be less corporate big wigs looking over your shoulder??
    What a shame about the shooting. My prayers are with that family.

    Man I hope I haven’t missed anyone. Really put some effort into it this am. Wishing you all a great Tuesday! 

        Quit Smoking

        Since I can't help myself quit drinking, and I don't have any advice on that, I thought that maybe I could share how I quit smoking over 5 years ago.

        First, I visited a lung cancer ward.
        Then, I went and bought Nicotene Commit 4mg
        I never followed the instructions, just sucked on them as often as I wanted. At first even while I slept. then after a while, I started to break them in two. Then I switched to the 2mg, then started breaking those in half.

        Now i am down to about 8 a day broken in half, and will eventually stop when i feel like it. the wonderful thing is that it does get you off the cigs, and there is no long term side effects to nicotene. it's the rest of the 100+ chemicals that cause lung cancer.

          MB, ANY change is good change, and the beach sounds lovely. They're just trying you out to find out what you're made of, so whip them into shape till you own the company! :H
          Trap, some people find great AA groups. The ones I found were cold and unhappy, very cliquish. But this place save me. I wanted to tell you to beware too much early confidence, but didn't want to dampen your efforts. It happens. It's how we learn. At the least, next time FORCE yourself not to go back out. Imagine your children in the car with you, or the cars you meet on the road, after you've been drinking. I know, I did it, and it's my biggest regret. I just read about a baseball player who was DUI and killed another DUI driver. It destroys lives. And buy ONE box next time. Give your cravings less options. (Or give your wife the keys!)
          Isn't it weird, with all our health talk, we wouldn't THINK of put a sewage line directly into our cars gas tank, so why do we think less of our bodies?
          Tay's coming this afternoon to clean, and I'm making a pot roast for dinner. Who's coming, so I can set enough places?

            Sunny-as I was with drinking, I am very ashamed of smoking and am a "closet" smoker - 1/2 a pack or less a day......Trap-you went to a lung cancer ward to help......I have to admit that my own father had lung cancer and had one complete lung removed.....that did stop me for about a year....then I picked up the nasty habit after my brother committed suicide....very, very dumb! Be proud that you are cutting back on the amount of alcohol you are drinking...it will take some time and maybe each night you can cut back a little more. YOU WILL GET THERE!

            Ruby-I had pot roast last night but thanks for the offer, but what else are you having?????I'd love to try some of your corn bread!!

            RC-I have a problem with carbs too and didn't realize it until I went on the Atkins diet...I feel so much better when I don't eat too many carbs. Speaking of the ACV-I am thinking about giving it to my german shepherd who has arthritis and lyme disease....he is only 5 but sometimes can barely walk. Would it be the same amount...like put 2 teaspoons in with his food?

            Well, back to work for a bit.....
            Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

                Grate, I'd so love to break (corn)bread with you. My secret passion is a hot, butter piece with a big slice of peeled, home-grown tomato in it, and big white butterbeans cooked with a bit of ham hock. I read all those diets, and stay away from much of the fried stuff, grease, sugars, and take-outs, but most Southerners live long and happy lives, and full ones!
                And YES, Trap, have you thought hard about WHY you drink. Take T's advice.

                            Good morning, my precious family. Ruby, I am so glad you posted Roger's story for Trap to read. If there ever was a story about overcoming, it is that of Roger's! I doubt any of us have lived and walked his path and he came through and now is such an inspiration to all of us! Sunshine, I hope you are feeling better today. Roger, so glad you got work coming in. Trap, do you have a presciption to something to calm you down, like valium? I remember you saying you took zanex, whatever that is. When I first tried to get off the alcohol, I would take a low dose valium that kept me so relaxed, I didn't think about alcohol, and I took it right at 5:00, when I would normally drink. Maybe this will help you. I think you have the strength and the desire to quit, so that's half the battle. Good luck to you today. Don't worry about yesterday. Today is a brand new day and we are going to help you get through it. Why don't you give one of us a call on your way home and you can pass right by that store without even noticing. Pm who you would like to talk to and they will give you their phone #. You are in control of where your mind goes. WE ALL KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS! I guess I have carpal tunnel, because my wrist is hurting so bad that I can barely type, so I guess I will go for a while. I love all of you and hope you have a wonderful day! Love, Vicki.
                            I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
                            but I'm sure not who I used to be!

                            There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.

                              Trap, SOS is so right! Regrets are useless, a waste of time and your efforts. Spend all your time on today, and making it a good one.

                                WooooHooooo!! Garnishment Tenant is working overtime to make extra money, but the county keeps track of his income, and this payperiod, I'll get $790.26!!!!!! Oh, it feels good for things to be getting better financially. And son is coming out of his shell, making friends, old friends coming out now to support him and tell him they knew so much for so long, and wanted to help but didn't want to cause more problems than he had already. Just don't want him jumping into anything else too fast now. Needs to learn to live on his own. I'm a happy camper right now.
